ASS-IGNORS TO INDIVIDUAL SANITARY SHAL ING CUP 00., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.

Application filed. July 17, 1913, Serial No. 779,541.

1 b all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we, JACQUES C. Gonnnnnnne and nominee; 1. KELLER, respectively a citizen of the United States and a subject of the Czar of Russia, residents of New York city, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Individual Shaving-Cups, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to individual shaving cups, particularly to an individual sanitary shaving cup which is used for one shave only.

One object of the present invention is to provide an individual cup of this character to be thrown away after being used once with a convenient means for inserting and permanently holding the individual portion of soap therein.

Another objectis to provide a cup of this character with a removable bottom in which the soap may be readily inserted either in a tablet or in the form of a paste, the formation of the bottom itself holding the supply in place.

A further object is to provide a removable bottom which is readily snapped into position in the wall of the cup.

The various other objects will be fully set forth in the detailed description and the features of novelty will be particularly pointed out in the claims.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of cup embodying our invention. Fig. 2- is a perspective view of the removable bottom with the soap applied therein. Fig. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a modified form in which the wall of the cup may be colla sed and the bottom removed. Fig. i is a fragmental sectional view on an enlarged scale illustrating the formation of the bottom and the contiguous portion of the cup.

Referring in detail to Figs. 1, 2 and 4, the cup has the upstanding wall 10 formed preferably tapering from top to bottom and formed at the bottom with an inwardly extending ridge or indentation 11. The bottom portion 12 is of shallow bowlshaped form having the upstanding wall 13 formed with a peripheral groove or channel 14 dimensioned to fit the ridge 11.

The soap 9 is first applied, either in a Specification of Letters Patent.

tablet or preferably in the form of a paste, which can be very readily molded into the bottom and held by the curved inwardly projecting formation of the wall. The bottom may then be inserted into the interior of the cup and snapped over the ridge 11, thus securely holding the same in place.

It will be readily seen that by having the bottom separable, the soap can very quickly and easily be applied therein and a paste can be used which practically has to be merely smeared over with a suitable device to be retained properly within the bottom. li/ioreover, if desired, this bottom may be formed of celluloid or some light metal which can be readily molded or stamped out at a very slight expense.

In the form illustrated in Fig. 3, the wall 15 of the cup may be formed of a material which can be readily collapsed fiat before the bottom is inserted. The in wardly extending ridge 16 is formed at the bottom of the wall similar to the other con struction described. This form of cup may be dispensed together with the bottom in a collapsed condition and set up when the cup is to be used.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. An individual sanitary shaving cup comprising an upstanding wall having an inwardly extending ridge formed at the bottom thereof, a removable bottom portion having a short upstanding wall formed with a peripheral groove adapted to be snapped over the ridge and fitting therewith, and an individual portion of soap in said removable bottom portion and retained therein.

2. An individual sanitary cup comprising an upstanding wall of fibrous material, said wall being provided with an inwardly extending ridge at the bottom thereof. a removable bottom portion having a peripheral groove formed thereon adapted to snap over the ridge to be engaged and held thereby, and an individual portion of soap consisting of a pasty mass filling up the groove Within the removable bottom and retained therein.

3. An individual sanitary shaving cup comprising an upstanding Wall of flexible material, a comparatively stiff removable bottom portion secured within the bottom of the wall maintaining the latter in shape, there being interengaging portions of New York, and State of New York, this on the Wall and bottom whereby the two are 14th day of July A.
